The embankment still remains in the garden

This piece of the railway embankment is still extant and is indicative of the precise location of the railway bridge (No. 1181) which carried the line over Redenhall Road 670 yards (614 Metres) distant from the short lived Redenhall Station. see TM2684 : The site of the former Redenhall railway station

Location of the Redenhall Road girder bridge

The bridge carried the WVR line diagonally over the Redenhall Road on an embankment which is still extant in the garden of Bridge House. The bridge which was designated No. 1181 was just over 7 miles distant from Tivetshall and only 670 yards distant from the short-lived Redenhall station which stood at the bottom of Church Lane. The bridge crossed the road between the green Telecom box and the second lamp-post. The embankment of the left side of the road was removed when the bridge was dismantled.

The road was built on the original railway embankment but was diverted from the original trajectory left of this point to meet the original height of the road at the roundabout on the left of the picture. The railway continued on the embankment towards the girder bridge #1181 over Redenhall Road, whereas the road diverts either side of the track.
